"This review is to sum up the last 4yrs on top of today’s visit. Stephen Hume IS an absolute professional. HE IS the definition of professional. He’s worked with my Mom for countless years. He never takes advantage like most plumbers, electricians, contractors do. His prices are beyond fair. His work IS impeccable. He’s a very hardworking man that is VERY PUNCTUAL!!!!!!! He’s been our personal plumber for 4yrs since we bought our first home. He squeezes us in if we need him on a drip of a hat. I have referred him to two of my best friends. Each had used him for two years and absolutely love him. I just recently gave his reference to my sister in law and they have used him twice and told me they were very pleased with his work. How I put it…. My Mom is one of the most picky customers you can ever come across. NOTHING IS GOOD ENOUGH SHE CSN FIND A FAULT IN MOST WORK DONE BY SOMEONE WORKING ON HET HOME…. If she refers someone…. I LISTEN!!!! I’m so happy she came across Hi-Performance Plumbing because we feel the same as she does. He’s so stinking awesome. Mellow polite gentleman with a very laid back personally and he’s not here for show. He’s not here to dangle a shiny bobbin in one direction as he charged you up the you know what. He tells you hey… that doesn’t need to be done. This does. Which saves time and money. Thanks Stephen!!!! I really appreciate you coming out today. I was really was stressing and now… not anymore.

Southern California's (2009,2010,2011,2012,2013 & 2014 Super Service Award Company!) Residential & Commercial Professional Concrete flat work, Engineered Masonry Retaining Walls, Free standing Masonry Walls, Interlocking Paving Stones, Clay Brick, Natural and manufactured Stone applications. Family owned. Cost is determined by the job. Award winning.

"We could not be more pleased with the work done by Falcon Construction! The owner, Val Mataele, was accessible from the very beginning. He answered all our questions and addressed all our concerns in a thoughtful, patient, and professional manner. We knew from the outset that his exceedingly high rating on Angie's List was well founded and absolutely justified. His crew, headed by his very capable brother, completed the project in the time frame they had stated before they began. And the result? Well, it was amazing. The value of our home has been enhanced tremendously and we have a rugged, durable, and gorgeous parking section for our vehicles as well as another cosmetic section that is simultaneously strong and beautiful. Without hesitation, we would recommend Falcon Construction to anyone looking for peace of mind in the selection of a company specializing in the highest quality Concrete-Masonry-and Paving work!"

At Daniel Cordova Plumbing we stand by our word and offer "Unmatched Quality Through Traditional Service" while providing reasonable and competitive pricing. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, day or night. We use the most up-to-date equipment to make sure that you and your home or business are well taken care of. We offer Free in home estimates (no house call or office visit fees with scheduled appointments) and make sure that your home or office is just as neat and clean as we found it, if not better! We look forward to hearing from you and giving you the peace of mind you deserve when it comes to your household plumbing, sewers, and drains.

"The reason we had to deal with Daniel Cordova Plumbing is that they did an expensive project before and after that project the toilet was not properly working. They claimed it was a bad pump so we agreed to change it. 1. I asked to itemize the project, they never did that though the price for a one day job was $6505. 2. We ordered the pump they listed in the invoice but we had to return it paying $250 return fee because they claimed they already bought a pump and according to them there was no way to return it. 3. They refused to provide a receipt for the pump they bought. I was insisting on it since it is my right to know what pump was installed in my property and have pictures of installation as well. CSLB confirmed I am entitled to it. Instead they gave me NOT a receipt, but a very strange invoice with an absolutely different pump name on it and a date of purchase earlier than our invoice. The name which was never mentioned in the invoice. Was it a direct or indirect deception is up to you to judge, but it was not a receipt 100% and I still have no idea what pump was installed in my property. 4. Nick Giles threatened to take the pump away and leave us in a completely dysfunctional house only because I requested documentation I am entitled to. CSLB says I have plenty of ground to file a complaint. 5. I shared my experience with Daniel Cordova Plumbing. It is up to you to hire them or not. I would stay away from this company."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
